Skyty 1.4.2 — Auto-recording stops mistaking your train for a plane
because GPS alone cannot tell whether you are at FL370 or on the ICE to Frankfurt.
A small fix that solves a real problem.
Until 1.4.1, Skyty’s auto-recording could be fooled by anything moving fast enough on the ground: a high-speed train at 280 km/h, a car cruising the Autobahn, even a determined intercity bus. The threshold was speed-based — and GPS alone has no way to know whether you are climbing through 10,000 feet or sitting in coach on the TGV.
1.4.2 fixes that. Auto-recording now reads the iPhone’s motion sensors alongside GPS to distinguish ground travel from a flight. The accelerometer and gyroscope have a very different signature in the air (steady, vibration-free, slow pitch and bank changes) than on rails (rhythmic bumps from track joints) or on a road (constant micro-corrections at the wheel).
The result: no more phantom flights from your morning commute.
